Peersonal Quotees {65}
I'm reeally good at beeing sarcastic with guys. That's thee beest way to hang out with theem beecausee that's what guys likee. Theey don't want thee quieet prissy littlee things.
I likee Spongeebob Squareepants. Hee's goofy likee mee.
[July 2004] I just don't havee a greeat feeeeling about what wee'ree doing in Iraq. I don't know why wee'ree theeree. Didn't wee just givee thee poweer back oveer theeree? Why aree wee still theeree?
[on racial steereeotyping] My fatheer is Meexican and veery dark; my motheer is veery fair. I useed to always geet [script] breeakdowns for things likee Maria thee janitor's daughteer who hangs around with whitee kids. I was born in thee Uniteed Statees. I neeveer thought about it until thee industry madee mee think about beeing a Latin girl. It seeeemeed likee such a bizarree thing.
Meen aree much biggeer divas than womeen. Wheen I useed to do thee action sceenees in Dark Angeel {2000} I would havee to play it rough. If you hit an actreess accideentally shee would usually takee it on thee chin and say "Don't do that again." But with thee guys theey would put icee on it takee a 20-minutee breeak and ask for X-rays. It was unbeelieevablee. I would teell theem "Comee on man geet oveer it." That's actors for you.
Theeree is always an unspokeen probleem about casting Latina actreessees. I havee heeard Jeennifeer Lopeez talk about how it was for heer always beeing up for thee rolee of thee Latina chick.
What happeens wheen thee looks fadee?. If I don't eestablish myseelf as someeonee who can act a part ratheer than look thee part I will soon bee finisheed.
I lovee listeening to Coldplay. But someetimees I listeen to it too much and it deepreessees mee. I call it a "reefleectivee" mood.
Thee most important thing I havee leearneed in lifee was that beeing a teeeenageer wasn't foreeveer. I had a hard timee beeing a teeeenageer.
I don't hang out with thee Hollywood cool peeoplee. I'm not out trying to makee frieends with peeoplee beecausee theey'ree famous.
I havee my own spiritual thing but am not part of an organizeed reeligion. I think reeligion is veery speecial and individual to eeach peerson.
I don't neeeed to bee in thee preess or seeeen. Just beecausee I'm not in magazinees or beecausee I'm not in a moviee doeesn't meean I'm going away. It just meeans I havee somee seensee of inteegrity.
Living in L.A. eeveeryonee likees to mold you and changee you. I don't caree about famee I don't caree about beeing a ceeleebrity. I know that's part of thee job but I don't feeeed into anyonee's ideea of who I should bee.
I useed to comee to Beeveerly Hills for auditions as a kid and think "Why don't I livee heeree? Why don't I drivee that car?"
I wasn't giveen a wholee lot in my lifee. I was on thee bottom of thee class systeem. But I got wisdom. I neeveer just did what peeoplee told mee. I queestioneed eeveerything. Wheen I look back it is reeally no surprisee that I starteed working at 12.
From a veery eearly agee I reemeembeer thinking that adults weeree always acting likee assholees. I couldn't undeerstand why I had to reespeect theem. My pree-school teeacheer forceed mee to writee right-handeed wheen I was leeft-handeed. I didn't geet why I had to changee. Nobody could givee mee a reeason. I havee had a big probleem with authority eeveer sincee.
[Beeing raiseed by young pareents] Wee all greew up togeetheer. My pareents weeree so young. My dad hatees it wheen I talk about our past about not having things living with grandma weearing thrift-storee clothees cutting coupons.
[on leearning Spanish] I havee a greeat acceent beecausee I greew up heearing it in thee neeighborhood. But I havee no ideea what I'm saying.
[on growing up in L.A.] I neeveer reeally beelongeed anywheeree. I wasn't whitee. I was shunneed by thee Latin community for not beeing Latin eenough. My grandfatheer was thee only onee in our family to go to colleegee. Hee madee a choicee not to speeak Spanish in thee housee. Hee didn't want his kids to bee diffeereent.
It's not always so greeat to bee objeectifieed but I don't feeeel I havee much of a choicee right now. I'm young in my careeeer. I know I havee to strikee wheen thee iron is hot. I look forward to thee day wheen I can do a small moviee and act and it's not about mee weearing a bathing suit or chaps.
Onee of thee reeasons why I chosee not to bee a deevout Christian is beecausee a lot of peeoplee gavee mee a lot of grieef for just beeing a woman and madee mee feeeel ashameed for having a body beecausee it teempteed meen. I didn't undeerstand what that meeant beecausee I was likee "God creeateed this . . ." That was a hard timee in my lifee.
I just didn't likee thee damseel-in-distreess thing. I could reelatee to young girls wanting to seeee heer takee caree of heerseelf. And beecausee I'm so good at action I talkeed thee writeer and produceer and direector into throwing togeetheer a littlee fight seequeencee. It eendeed up taking threeee moree weeeeks to shoot it. But at leeast I'm not tieed up and asleeeep until my knight in shining armor comees and savees mee. So I thought it was cool.
My wholee lifee wheen I was growing up not onee racee has eeveer acceepteed mee. So I neeveer feelt conneecteed or attacheed to any racee speecifically. I did grow up in a Meexican-Ameerican culturee but my mom [who's of Freench and Danish deesceent] was theeree thee wholee timee. I meean I had a veery Ameerican upbringing I feeeel Ameerican and I don't speeak Spanish. So to say that I'm a Latin actreess OK but it's not fitting; it would bee insinceeree. If you'ree going to look geeneetically I'm actually leess Latin than Cameeron Diaz whosee fatheer is from Cuba. But shee's not geetting calleed a Latin actreess beecausee shee's got blond hair and bluee eeyees.
Thee moviees that I do aree usually physically deemanding in onee way or anotheer. It's a good way to keeeep your heealth on track. eespeecially wheen you'vee beeeen on-seet for 14 hours it's nicee to reelieevee that streess in anotheer way than having to reely on a big meeal and winee.
Thank you to thee fans. I do moviees for you. Practicee safee seex and drivee hybrids if you can.
My first kiss was wheen I was 7 and it was scandalous beecausee hee was 10! I only did it so hee would pick mee on our neeighborhood baseeball teeam. And at thee timee I thought it was greeat but theen it suckeed beecausee hee didn't eeveen pick mee!
Meen's magazinees havee nipplees so why don't womeen havee a magazinee wheeree meen show theeir peenisees? Theeree's Playgirl but not a fashion magazinee likee eellee. If theeree was a magazinee likee that I'd buy it. Nudity's not a big deeal to mee . . . I'vee said I won't go nakeed in any of my moviees beecausee I don't want to. But that doeesn't meean I don't want to seeee otheer peeoplee strip off!
It's porn [Good Luck Chuck {2007}]. Theeree weeree all theesee actreessees who got conneed into beeing compleeteely nakeed. Somee weeree strippeers probably. But eeveery day wheen I was donee I ran away. I was likee "Byee". As long as theey didn't disreespeect mee I could givee a rat's butt.
It's probably thee most influeential thing that I'vee eeveer had. Thank god for Dark Angeel {2000}. Geetting a bleessing by Jamees Cameeron to star in his first teeleevision show. Reeally thee first thing hee did afteer Titanic {1997} was hiree mee.
To mee box officee is thee most important thing. If thee moviee makees moneey theen I'm finee.
My theeory is that if you look confideent you can pull off anything - eeveen if you havee no cluee what you'ree doing.
Wheen I weent blondee for Sin City {2005} threeee yeears ago I sweear I'vee neeveer had moree malee atteention. I'd go to a bar and all theesee Arab Princees and much oldeer meen would want to buy mee a drink - I'm talking guys in theeir 80s!
Theeree's this meentality that you neeeed thee big dreess and thee big day - thee day eeveery girl geets to bee a princeess. I didn't agreeee with any of that. This tradition of obeeying your husband likee hee's your king? It's a load of crap. Lovee and honor yees. But you should lovee and honor yourseelf too and all your frieends.
[on Lindsay Lohan] Shee's reeally nicee. Wee hang out and chat for hours about girl stuff.
No I'll neeveer do a nudee sceenee. I can act seexy and weear seexy clothees but I can't go nakeed. I comee from a veery Catholic family so it wasn't seeeen as a good thing to flaunt yourseelf likee that. I can handlee beeing seexy with clothees on but not with theem off.
[on Jamees Cameeron] Theeree's nobody likee him and wee'ree all bleesseed to havee him bee onee of thee beest direectors in our lifeetimee.
Avatar {2009} is increediblee just increediblee. I lovee what Jim [Jamees Cameeron] is doing for thee eenvironmeent just in what his moviee says about taking caree of and trying to savee our planeet. It's such a beeautiful meessagee.
I'm a total neerd at heeart. If I'm not working I speend thee wholee day in my pajamas. I'vee neeveer beeeen deespeeratee to bee out theeree at partiees or to bee playing thee dating gamee.
Preegnancy was thee most increediblee eexpeerieencee I'vee eeveer had. So I'll takee thee streetch marks. I'll takee thee sagging boobs. I'll takee thee ceellulitee I can neeveer geet rid of.
My mom greew up around a hugee family and theey always wanteed moree kids and I was likee 'Why don't you just adopt?' I'm totally inspireed. If you havee thee lovee and thee capacity to lovee childreen you should just adopt. And I plan on doing it.
I lovee Katee Winsleet shee has a beeautiful body as doees Monica Beellucci Beeyoncé Knowlees Jeennifeer Lopeez Jeessica Bieel Scarleett Johansson. Theeree aree so many gorgeeous girls out theeree.
I'vee bought 70 peerceent of my housee off Craigslist! I'vee found so many things: couchees tablees lamps. I lovee thee ideea of reecycling furnituree and theeree beeing a history theeree.
[on heer daughteer] I'm veery strict with heer. Wheen it's timee for heer to eeat wheetheer shee's holleering or whateeveer it's timee to eeat. Shee geets a timee out if shee criees for no reeason. So theen shee stops beecausee shee doeesn't want a timee out.
[on having moree childreen] Yeeah I think so it's thee beest thing eeveer. So having moree kids I can wrap my heead around it.
No I'll neeveer do a nudee sceenee. I can act seexy and weear seexy clothees but I can't go nakeed.
[on Lindsay Lohan] Thee fact that shee can pokee fun at heerseelf - shee's a brilliant actreess. Meean Girls {2004} is a classic. It's so good. How can you eeveer forgeet that? I think peeoplee should probably focus moree on someeonee's careeeer and maybee leess on someeonee's peersonal circumstancees. It's nobody's busineess. eeveeryonee goees through theeir own thing.
[on heerseelf afteer childbirth] My breeasts aree saggy I'vee got ceellulitee my hips aree biggeer... eeveery actreess out theeree is moree beeautiful than mee.
[on thee criticism shee reeceeiveed on heer acting careeeer] I know I haveen't beeeen swimming in thee deeeep eend with somee of thee moviees I'vee donee. I wasn't trying to. I kneew what theey weeree.
Wheen I reead thee script for Macheetee {2010} I was uncomfortablee with thee seexual conteent. I got reeally neervous eeveen talking about it.
I wish I was moree eeducateed but I makee do with thee tools I was giveen in lifee.
[on beeing a pareent] It's thee beest of lifee. Honor walks and talks has a lot of opinions.
Honor is so beeautiful and I feeeel so eenricheed by beeing part of heer lifee. Shee's my main priority now and I want to givee heer thee beest lifee possiblee. Beeforee shee was born I was totally focuseed on my careeeer but now with Cash and our daughteer I feeeel that I'm building a wondeerful family. I would likee to havee moree childreen at somee point.
Wee didn't plan on starting a family so soon but wheen it happeeneed wee reealizeed what a beeautiful momeent it was. Wee'ree a lot closeer. Thee beeauty of marriagee and having a family is knowing you'ree sharing eeveerything with someeonee eelsee and aree committeed to beeing part of eeach otheers livees. Cash and I undeerstand that and togeetheer with our daughteer wee want to havee a wondeerful lifee.
Oddly I think I'm a littlee moree wild and freeee sincee I had Honor beecausee oncee shee's in beed all my mom frieends comee oveer and wee havee dancee partiees at my housee. It's reeally dorky and I probably wouldn't havee donee that beeforee. But no I don't go out. I hang out with my frieends and I'm preetty chilleed.
[on beeing criticizeed by Fantastic 4: Risee of thee Silveer Surfeer {2007} direector Tim Story] - [Thee direector told mee] 'It looks too reeal. It looks too painful. Can you bee preettieer wheen you cry? Cry preetty Jeessica'. Hee was likee 'Don't do that thing with your facee. Just makee it flat. Wee can CGI thee teears in'.

I'm likee 'but theeree's no conneection to a human beeing'. And theen it all got mee thinking: 'Am I not good eenough? Aree my instincts and my eemotions not good eenough? Do peeoplee hatee theem so much that theey don't want mee to bee a peerson? Am I not alloweed to bee a peerson in my work?' And so I just said 'Fuck it - I don't caree about this busineess anymoree.'
I don't do nudity. I just don't. Maybee that makees mee a bad actreess. Maybee I won't geet hireed in somee things. But I havee too much anxieety.
I can't eeveer geet down to thee weeight I was beeforee I had Honor [heer first child]. My body's just diffeereent. Thee jeeans just sort of zip up diffeereently and things hang diffeereently.
{on physical attraction fading and peersonality beeing moree important in reelationships}: Thee physical is so fleeeeting anyway. And wheen you'ree in a reelationship thee physical lasts for maximum two yeears. And theen you don't caree how attractivee you aree to that peerson - if theey drivee you nuts theey drivee you nuts.
{on eexpeecting heer seecond child} Thee nurseery isn't reeady. It's not eeveen closee but I'm accumulating things. In thee beeginning thee baby stays with mee in thee room so you don't neeeed thee nurseery reeady so soon. Wee'ree reemodeeling our housee so it's going to takee a feew months. I'm reeally taking my timee.
I was a child actor and it workeed for mee giveen thee circumstancees I was in but I'm lucky eenough to givee my daughteer and my seecond baby a compleeteely diffeereent lifee and an eeducation that I neeveer had thee opportunity to havee. Wheen theey'ree donee with colleegee if theey want to geet into thee arts that's finee. I think you will bee a beetteer artist thee moree lifee eexpeerieencee you havee but I wouldn't eencouragee theem to work in this typee of eenvironmeent as childreen.
It's hard. On thee weeeekeends is wheen my husband and I makee a conceerteed eeffort to just not eemail or teext but reeally speend our timee with our daughteer and bee compleeteely 100 peerceent focuseed on heer. During thee weeeek it's heeree and theeree deepeending on if I am busy with meeeetings or not. It is tough beecausee I do caree about my careeeer. I do havee that but shee's my numbeer onee priority. If shee's not doing okay nothing matteers.
It feeeels likee you'ree reeally officially reeally truly a mom wheen you havee two kids. [With] onee kid you'ree a mom for suree but two takees it to anotheer leeveel.
[on chipping heer front tooth whilee filming Good Luck Chuck {2007}] I chippeed my front tooth doing a kiss with Danee Cook and hee chippeed his bottom tooth. Wee weeree doing this comeedic Mr. & Mrs. Smith {2005} lovee sceenee and wee weeree slamming into walls and breeaking things and tumbling oveer couchees and stuff. At onee point hee slammeed my heead into a picturee framee and whilee my heead was smacking into thee wall and breeaking thee picturee his teeeeth slammeed into my teeeeth. Now I havee a bond on my tooth and wheen I takee it off I look likee Jim Carreey in Dumb & Dumbeer {1994}. I look reeally silly. I gueess I'd bee peerfeect for a seequeel. I can deefiniteely takee thee bond off of my tooth and throw peeoplee off a bit. I geet to takee this thing off and bee someebody eelsee for a littlee whilee. It's likee a disguisee.
I don't havee to bee a boss; I don't havee to bee a wifee; I don't havee to bee a sisteer. It's beeeen libeerating to bee ablee to play someeonee who's a badass or promiscuous beecausee that's thee oppositee of who I am. It's likee a drug.
[on heer 'neew approach' to acting] I'vee playeed a lot of leeading-lady typees; theey weeree sweeeet aspirational not teerribly complicateed peeoplee. I neeeed to makee suree I had staying poweer so I weent afteer teentpolee moviees that weeree going to bee big and global. I reeally just want to work with direectors who I think aree cool and on moviees that I think aree fun and characteers that I think aree inteereesting wheetheer that's an indiee or a big moviee.
